‘Dining Out For Life’ returns Thursday to raise funds to fight hunger and illness

Lifelong’s ‘Dining Out For Life’ presented by BECU returns for its 21th year THIS Thursday, April 24, with Burien’s The Mark Restaurant participating.

On this day, nearly 150 restaurants in Seattle will donate over 30% of their proceeds to Lifelong to fight hunger and illness in our community. Funds raised from Dining Out For Life support Lifelong, a Seattle-based community health organization that opens doors to food, housing, and health services to people living HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses.

“Participating in Dining Out For Life is an easy way to give back,” states Randall Russell, Lifelong’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have long-time restaurant partners coming back as well as many new participants. The Seattle community is so supportive of this event. Such a simple thing – grabbing coffee or going out for a meal with friends – will make a big difference in the lives of the people we serve.”

During the day-long fundraiser, diners have a chance to win a cruise vacation getaway for that includes airline tickets from Alaska Airlines as well as a 3, 4, 5, or 7 day cruise for two. Lifelong is also encouraging patrons to tweet photos of themselves using #forkie for a chance to win a Dining Out For Life prize package.

Dining Out For Life is sponsored by BECU, The Stranger, C89.5, Nyhus Communications, Titan Outdoor, and the GSBA.

Below is the list of participating restaurants for 2014. This list was last updated at noon on Monday, April 21st. For the most updated list, visit www.diningoutforlife.com/seattle.
